WIP Old Gnome

[marta]

And here's second bust I'm working on at the moment.
Cute little gnome from War Griffon Miniatures
With this little fella only flesh and stone left to be done (plus some touch ups here and there). Left sleeve is not as smooth as it could be, so I'll try to fix that as well if I can and have time next week.
For some reason flesh on the photo looks way more yellow than in rl, and I lost a lot of colour nuances on the face, but it's not finished anyway.

Again I'll be more than happy if you could point all the week spots.

cheers

Hi Marta, as usual I can't see any weaknesses in your painting, but I have a tip if you want to use it? Put a dob of glue in the bowl of the pipe, rest a cotton bud against it, and when set gently tease the cotton bud away which leaves you with a fairly convincing whisp of smoke. Nice painting .
Best wishes, Gary.

I managed to finish this little guy at 2am last Saturday, just hours before Euromilitaire. And it got bronze, making me very happy.
I should post photos of finished piece soon, maybe even tomorrow
